case with innovative Dominy skeletonized 8-day time only movement. The hood assembly was made new C.1950 to match the trunk, and in the Dominy style, as pictured in Palmer's Book of American Clocks, figures 41-42, and at the same time, the seatboard was renewed, and the entire case refinished to match the new hood. Inside the case are two separate hand written testimonials, dated 1964 and 1969, by former owners/friends in Bridge Hampton, NY. The painted iron dial is weak, but the signature and date are legible. Extra detail may be found in Hummel's "With Hammer in Hand" a full book on Dominy. In all original condition, we would have expected this to bring $20,000. Height 82 inches
